  • BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and PHILOSOPHY:Knowledge Here
    BATTLESTAR GALACTICA AND PHILOSOPHY The Blackwell Philosophy and PopCulture Series Series editor William Irwin A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and a healthy help- ing of popular culture clears the cobwebs from Kant. Philosophy has had a public relations problem for a few centuries now. This series aims to change that, showing that philosophy is relevant to your life—and not just for answering the big questions like “To be or not to be?” but for answering the little questions: “To watch or not to watch South Park?” Thinking deeply about TV, movies, and music doesn’t make you a “complete idiot.” In fact it might make you a philosopher, someone who believes the unexamined life is not worth living and the unexamined cartoon is not worth watching.

I tv- serien Battlestar Galactica gestaltas och problematiseras vår samtid. Genom att flytta mänskligheten från Jorden och ut i rymden, där de konfronteras med en mängd etiska och moraliska frågor – tvingade att se över vad de själva är och vad de håller på att bli.

    Annual Meeting st 31 Hyatt Regency Albuquerque Albuquerque, New Mexico Texas Popular Culture and American Culture Association American Culture and Culture Texas Popular February 10-13, 2010 / www.swtxpca.org Southwest Southwest st 31 Annual Meeting of the SWTX PCA/ACA To All SWTX PCA/ACA Participants This past year the Popular/American Culture movement was saddened with the passing of Dr. Ray Browne. As the founder of the National PCA/ACA, its regional organizations, the inspiration behind the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture, a prolific author and advocate for Popular /American Culture scholars Ray’s influence was felt worldwide. st Join us in dedicating our 31 Annual SWTX PCA/ACA Conference in his honor. CONTENTS PROGRAM Ray Browne (1922 – 2009): Mentor to Many and Friend to All Ray Browne was a mentor to thousands of us and we celebrate his influence as we mourn. At the age of 87, he was still editing book reviews for the Journal of American Culture and, pretty much till the end of his life, making the daily trek to his office in Bowling Green State University’s Jerome Library. Ray believed that there was both a need and an opportunity to study popular culture. For someone trained in folklore (as Ray had been), this was not a radical notion, but “traditionalist” professors in English and history departments deplored such slumming. A 1969 Toledo, Ohio, meeting of the American Studies Association focusing on popular culture became the occasion for crystallizing random experiments into a new movement. With cohorts Russell Nye, Tom Towers, Marshall Fishwick, and Daniel Walden—and with indispensable help from Ms.
